I am not sure about this but when two or three mails stream in on the name of Theft against you, lets not lie these statistics are adding up to something no matter how smart of words or convincing you may soon or later figures will add up or subtract. I wait but the signs are clear.....

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't mention that this is a desktop drive. Model no. HD502HJ. 

Do you also deal in those?

Job,
We may choose to engage each other on this list on the same as long as we  have time but the truth is i can't buy your dead screen and hdd like they are working just because you lied to me that they are indeed Ok ,cz as i said i am not buying them for e disposal .
   The business of buying dead laptops for parts is massive and can't be wished away because one Job Muriuki thinks so , why am i saying this , in Kenya we don't manufacture system boards ,not screens ,not power supply units , not nothing (We tried to engage the government on the need to manufacture PC PSU since we had lots of them laying in our workshops and thought we should revamp them , the thing died like many other government projects ) and because not all Kenyans can replace their dead laptops with new once ,component level swopping and repairs has become the order of the day , its against this backdrop that this business thrives ,
        Like any other industry @ somepoint we shall need to streamline its operation to make sure we the buyers don't exploit our clients and people like you won't make quick bucks @ our expense like you tried doing .
   Before then Branton & Co will continue doing what they know best ,what they have been doing for the last 3 or so years.....Buying dead laptops for parts , and repairing them dead laptops.
my regards.
Branton.

Branton,

Whatever parts you replacing with you invest in them no one is willing to give away their old laptops 
and leave it at your discretion to pay them. We also bought them. You are only surviving since there 
are other kenyans who haven't met your kind yet.

@ Job ,
we buy buy this items for the sole reason of replacing them to machines for our deserving customers , sio kupima kilo or e -disposal ,so next time you wan't to make a few quick bucks don't take that route , and in any case if that was the case we wouldn't be in business 3 years and still counting ,
          Kindly just stop yapping and allow me to concentrate on fixing  this board cz its the only way i can pay ma bills ,

Ok .
The pricing was based on the state of the hard disk ,the system board and maybe the drives though i had enough of them @ the moment and customers requesting for the same are few to come by .
    Now ,as you will agree with me ,business of buying laptops for parts is abit tricky @ some point i need to buy a dead laptop ,dead to mean the system board is kaput , i give out my price put in to consideration the screen is Ok , the HDD is Ok , i need aboard with  similar connector if not a similar laptop to   establish that.
    To knw the health status of your HDD i need to run BIOS advanced test that can take over 2hrs if its a 500GB HDD ,you see a HDD maybe working with windows 7 installed but that does not mean there are no bad sectors considering win 7 is smart OS it jumps bad sectors during installation , i need to sale the same to someone who may choose to use even MsDOS ,
     So sometimes i may quote based on your word of mouth and if you are not available we test i find out its not good , i have all the right to revise my quote after all am not in business to make losses

if you say so i accept responsibility , but just you may know next time its good to demand cash for faulty stuff.

Branton,

You accepted the laptop and  we agreed on the amount you were to pay but you stopped picking up my calls when I requested for the 
remaining amount. If really the laptop was not of any use to you why did you accept it in the first place and you knew its was not in
good working condition? 
All this cases are similar and you disappear without getting in touch on the progress so unless the description of a conman changed, the
title fits you perfectly. 

Good business is where we have honesty and if you are in business you must learn to invest before you reap not taking goods and waiting
to sell and wasting our time and money.

Right of reply !
Leme first confirm to the over 20  members of Skunkworks who called me to know what was a miss , that am good & not under threat of arrest. i have been buying laptops for parts ,...system boards, chipsets, screens,ports,dvd,keyboards casings for close to 4 years , a quick check on my clientele list tells me i  have dealt with 87 members of Skunkworks  ,this is awesome ,i have heard quite an good experience from listers here.
      I will make a general observation  then respond to Calvin , & Richard
When we started off buying laptops for cash and repairing them 3 years ago business was good, since last year things have changed like the laptop screen i used to sale @ 9k i can only sale it @ 6.5k ,as fate would have it we had to change our mode of operation like instead of us waiting for customers @ the workshop to come we fix his screen , board or whatever it is we move to our clients site with our tool kits and sort out the problems from his/her end, this new model has caused us alot of logistical issues & that explains my absence from the workshop @ times cz i move around so much but am always available on my phone .
    Richard , your POS system has a faulty logical board ,@ some i got the same and replaced and it worked but i called you  and i couldn't get to you and because the person who was selling it to me was impatient he picked it ,i have another person who wants to sale the whole POS system that i can chuck the logic board, he is asking for 21k & because i don't need the rest of the parts i will pass the cost to you and add 4k for repairs  ,in essence am saying with 25k you can pick a working POS by the end of business tomorrow  that way both of us will be in business,if not you can arrange to pick from where you had left it , @least by Monday.
  @ Job Muruiki , this is one guy who tried to con me , Job we have come along way in terms of hardware repairs ,if you come to my shop and you want to sale a laptop you dont want us to test the screen and hardisk kumbe you knw very well ushauza screen na umebadilisha hdd , we can't work like that ,honestly don't ever try that again i had chosen to keep quite matters customer confidentiality but now  you let the cat out.
   @ Calvin , as pointed out earlier we have been having challenges , i changed the chipsets and still your machine had booting issues and your machine,e-machine is a rare species so , honestly i can't get a compatible board ,also need to test the other parts of your machine before i hand it over ,hopefully kesho.
       Having said that i also need to say for the inconveniences ,the unnecessary traffic caused , and above thank those of us we have done business with ,those of you whom am working on your laptops, machines thank you for calling me
